Modeling of the Response Time of Thermal Flow Sensors
This paper introduces a simple theoretical model for the response time of thermal flow sensors. Response time is defined here as the time needed by the sensor output signal to reach 63.2% of amplitude due to a change of fluid flow. This model uses the finite-difference method to solve the heat transfer equations, taking into consideration the transient conduction and convection between the sens...
متن کاملThermal Flow Micro Sensors'
A review is given on sensors fabricated by silicon micromachining technology using the thermal domain for the measurement of fluid flow. Attention is paid especially to performance and geometry of the sensors. Three basic types of thermal jlow sensors are discussed: anemometers, calorimetric flow sensors and time of flight flow sensors. Anemometers may comprise several heaters and temperature s...
متن کاملThermal Flow Sensors for Harsh Environments
Flow sensing in hostile environments is of increasing interest for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and chemical and resource industries. There are thermal and non-thermal approaches for high-temperature flow measurement. Compared to their non-thermal counterparts, thermal flow sensors have recently attracted a great deal of interest due to the ease of fabrication, lack of moving part...
متن کاملRefined Thermal Flow Sensors by Transduction Engineering
Miniaturized flow sensors composed of a thin membrane supporting appropriately positioned heating resistors and temperature sensors were studied by computer-numeric analysis. Significant improvements of the steady-flow transduction characteristics as well as the responses to step-like changes of the dissipated power are feasible by design modifications and new transduction schemes.
متن کاملMicromachined Thermal Flow Sensors - A Review
Microfabrication has greatly matured and proliferated in use amongst many disciplines. There has been great interest in micromachined flow sensors due to the benefits of miniaturization: low cost, small device footprint, low power consumption, greater sensitivity, integration with on-chip circuitry, etc. This paper reviews the theory of thermal flow sensing and the different configurations and ...
